Bigfoot Society - Boogerville: The Sasquatch Hotspot in Dale’s Backyard

Episode Date: May 7, 2025

What happens when a retired country singer from Alabama discovers that his backyard might be part of a Sasquatch migration route? In this gripping and atmospheric episode, we sit down with Dale Boswel...l — a singer, songwriter, and graphic designer who went from Nashville stages to high strangeness in the Alabama woods. Dale shares what happened the day his daughter saw a “polar bear” watching his plywood Bigfoot cutout — and how that single moment led to years of personal investigation. You’ll hear stories of gliding creatures, sudden dizzy spells, captured video of a juvenile Sasquatch face, and even a possible Dogman encounter — all within yards of his home. This is more than a story about strange sightings; it’s about what happens when the unexplained shows up on your doorstep. Featuring locations across Alabama, New Mexico, and beyond — this is one you won’t forget.Resources:Boogerville FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/258795478123272https://www.youtube.com/c/DaleBoswell🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to bigfootsociety@gmail.com – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Patreon – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn More🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072📧 Business Inquiries:bigfootsociety@gmail.com

You're listening to Bigfoot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. Tonight's story doesn't come from a hiker or a camper. It comes from a country singer who traded Nashville stages for the shadows of rural Alabama and found something watching him back. It started with a plywood.
Starting point is 00:02:03 silhouette and then came the polar bear in the tree line. But what Dale saw one morning while chasing a fox, a gliding figure, silent and smooth, left him dizzy, disoriented, and changed. This is in second hand. This is a firsthand story of a man who captured what might be one of the clearest faces of a juvenile Sasquatch and stood just feet from something else in the dark. This is a story of Dale Boswell and the Bigfoot in Bookerville. So stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society. I've got the privilege of talking to Dale today. Dale is a singer-songwriter, graphic designer, and a Bigfoot researcher from the great state of Alabama. Welcome to the show. Dale, how's it going today? Hello, Jeremiah. It's going pretty good. The weather's nice,
Starting point is 00:02:51 and I've just been lazy all day, just hanging around. But it's an honor to be here with you today. How are you doing, my friend? Oh, I'm doing well. We're starting to get better weather up here. in Iowa. But, you know, Dale, you're one of these guys I've heard a little bit about here and there. And it sounds like you've got some really interesting accounts that will go over in a bit. But, you know, first, I'd love to hear, was it the singer-songwriter that came first? Or was it the Bigfoot side that came first? Well, actually, I've been singing and performing, well, pretty much all my life. since I was about 12 years old and pick up the guitar.
Starting point is 00:03:35 But as far as professionally, since about 1985, it's when I started performing professionally and, you know, I formed a band and really got into some really prestigious events, you know. I had a lot of fun, met a lot of people. I've been fortunate enough to play some of the biggest stages in Nashville, right on up. I never made the grand old Opry, of course, that is all
Starting point is 00:04:06 our, us country singers goes, but I did play several other places that are well known in Nashville, you know, for instance, like Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in the Nashville Palace and the Ernest Tubb, Midnight Jamboree,
Starting point is 00:04:22 things like that. I recorded several songs that the easy way to get to them, I would say, just Google my name, Dale Boswell well. And a lot of my recorded music will come up and some of stuff you may have heard on the radio because I did get quite a bit of radio airplay here and there.
Starting point is 00:04:43 But anyway, to answer your question, I did this up until about 2011. And I've been having lots of problems with my neck. And come to find out I had degenerative disc disease. and so I was dealing with that. In 2011, I had to have surgery on my neck. And, you know, you've got seven vertebra in your neck. Well, I have five of mine fused together with a titanium plate and ten screws. So my head don't move too much, you know, like it used to, but it took away the pain.
Starting point is 00:05:25 And the biggest thing is the titanium plate. plate put some constriction on my vocal cords. And I've never been the best singer in the world anyway, you know, but I was fortunate enough to be around the best and around a lot of good people, so I got to do a lot of cool things. And it wouldn't cause like Sal, really no exceptional talent, just something I enjoy doing and made,
Starting point is 00:05:49 you know, made a little bit of a career out of. But anyway, this titanium plate put a constriction on my vocal cords. So I lost a lot of my range, you know, what high notes I could hit or even low notes. And I was down to just based a whisper there for a while. And so I had to put my music career on hold. And actually, I had just signed, I mean like a month before,
Starting point is 00:06:17 I had signed a major management contract out of Branson, Missouri. And that's when Branson was really going strong, you know. know, as far as a country music entertainment area. But then the surgery come up and just kind of not, you know, put an end to all that. But anyways, music had been my life, you know, for just my whole life. So I couldn't do that anymore. And now, Bigfoot, you know, I kind of enjoyed that a little bit when I was younger, you know, when I occasionally see stuff or read books.
Starting point is 00:06:54 I enjoy books about a cryptis and things like that. But I was never really a big, big fan, I guess would say, until there's surgery. So I was laying around in the bed, you know, I couldn't do much, you know. It was kind of really depressed, you know, because I just couldn't play music anymore. I put the guitar up. And one day I was watching, you know, I was watching YouTube. So I just put in a search engine. Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:07:25 And I'm like, oh my goodness. And there were so much stuff came up. And I just got deeper and deeper into it and really started, you know, really researching everything I could, you know, on the subject. And I got obsessed with it. You know, it would do that to you. And it was about 2014 when I really, really got into the deep research. But anyway, that's what kind of got me into it was a, I guess,
Starting point is 00:07:52 a titanium plate. my neck bones. Oh, that is fascinating. I mean, it's always super interesting to hear what it is that gets people. And sometimes it's a physical change like that, but it sounds like there was also another event that happened that really got you into. You kind of alluded to there, there's something that happened in 2014 there. Yeah, absolutely. in 2014, I remember it was July of 2014, matter of fact.
Starting point is 00:08:27 And at that time, like I said, I was researching, but I was thinking like everybody is, you know, Bigfoot's not around my neighborhood there. And if they're going to be any, they're going to be way out there. I'm going to have to ride down some big dirt road somewhere, you know, and you know how you get into it. But anyways, one morning, well, actually, let me take you back to a few days before. I had just built and being a, being a graphics design, and illustrator was my real job through my life.
Starting point is 00:08:58 And I was honored to work for some really major companies and do some really cool stuff in the world of design and marketing and advertising. Anyway, that's another story. But anyway, I had just, I took a four by eight foot sheet of plywood. And being an artist, I scaled up a front of a view of a big. foot or what most people describe him to look like, you know, and they usually say he's about four feet wide and about eight feet tall, so it would work out just perfect. So I took this plywood and I drew a silhouette of a big foot on it. Then I cut it out, and I painted it black, of course.
Starting point is 00:09:42 And so I just painted one side, and that night, you know, I leaned it up against my carport. So the paint was dry, and there was space in the. the tree line by my house. I live kind of way out in the country and stuff, and my house is surrounded by woods, but it's facing the front side tree line of my house in my front yard. Well, the next morning, my daughter had a doctor's appointment.
Starting point is 00:10:11 So as we were pulling out of the driveway, I stopped, and she said, oh, let me ask you something. I said, what is it? She said, do we have polar bears in Alabama? I'm like, you said polar bear? She said, yeah. I said, oh, no, no. And I stopped right there.
Starting point is 00:10:30 And I said, what do you mean? Well, she told me that that night, she had, she went out to the front porch to smoke a cigarette. And she said, I looked over it. And she said, it looked like they was a big old polar bear was standing right over there. You know, it wasn't 40 feet from my front door in the tree line. She said, and it was looking at that thing you built. I said what? And what, and what, what call me is a, is a, she, she didn't know nothing really about Bigfoot,
Starting point is 00:11:01 could care less about Bigfoot, you know. And maybe she might have heard me talk a little bit, but she didn't care nothing about it, you know, just doing her young girl thing. But what she described, what she saw was, was, in my opinion, absolutely a Bigfoot. And actually there's a, there's a video. you can look up that is on my video channel where I interviewed her and let her tell what she saw. And I think it's called White Bigfoot in Alabama, white big put site in Alabama. But you can, like say, you can Google Dale Boswell and you can go to my YouTube site and see all of my evidence type videos and things I've taken.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Anyway, after she saw that and she described it as white and could actually point to it. to a limb, she said, and his head was about right there. And it was right at eight feet tall. But she said it was a, she said it was white, but she said, she said the legs. She said, where? She said, you know how like a Labrador retriever or something? And that's kind of way she described as hair. She said it was real pretty, you know, it was kind of blowing hair, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:15 it wasn't shagging a bit, but she said like the, she said the legs like from the knees, were kind of orange looking. She said, you know, like a dog kind of gets in the mud and its hair, you know, that's white, but it kind of orange. And she said, described it like that. I'm talking, that's weird. But it makes sense. But then she said, but the way it moved.
Starting point is 00:12:36 And she done her hand in a glide motion. She said it was like, and it was gone. She said, just that quick. Didn't make a sound, didn't move, didn't anything. And back then, you didn't talk about it, even though. a lot of us knew it and would see things. You didn't talk about these things gliding. And everybody, even Jeff Meldrum, now I'll tell you about the sighting that he saw was a big old shadow.
Starting point is 00:13:05 And he said it was gliding was the word he used. And actually, the one I'll tell you about the minute that I saw was doing the same thing. And it looked like it was gliding through the forest, like, you know, it was blighted on a little winged feet or something. But anyway, when she described this in 2014, I knew she had to. seen something because we didn't talk about that kind of stuff, you know, because they were considered woo, you know, back then. So that really got me interested in my area. I'm like, oh, my gosh, you know, I couldn't wait to get home.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Then I was telling my wife about it. So we walked out in the woods behind myself and immediately started seeing tree structures, the ones I've been seeing on TV, you know, the exes, the bends and breaks and things and just stuff that just didn't look right, didn't look normal. But I had never thought to even look around in my woods, as much as I love my woods, I just figured they were everywhere else.
Starting point is 00:13:59 So basically every bit of evidence that I collected on video and on photo or in photos, has been right here basically in my backyard. And I feel so fortunate, you know, because a lot of people, you know, go everywhere, We're looking for these big boogers and, you know, and here they are, seems to be, you know, right where I live. And I was the same way. I think it was in 2017.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I went to New Mexico to an event that Brenda Harris was having at her home, a little conference thing, and I was entertaining and traveling with some folks like Mark Neubal and, oh, shoot, We had old pile of folks, and my daughter went with us. But anyway, I was the same way. You know, here I went to New Mexico, and we ended up on a mountain somewhere. That was kind of another story. It's kind of cool. And with a shaman, and he took us way up on his mountain.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Wow. And it was a fascinating experience, but I have to tell you about that sometime. But anyways, that's what got me looking in my own area. So I called my area Bookerville, and that's actually what I call my private page, My Bigfoot page is called Bookerbill. If y'all want to look me up and come see some of the stuff that I kind of keep and show as far as stuff that I believe is the real deal. And, of course, the stuff that I know that I know 100% is real because, you know, I took it with my camera in my yard with my video, my SD card, with my fingers hitting the record button. up.
Starting point is 00:15:50 But that's, you know, when it comes to proof and all, you know how it is. We can't prove nothing, you know. I'm from believing that, you know. All we can do is a, it's kind of show we got, you know, that you make up your own mind. And I usually tell people that kind of, you know, look at me a little weird and stuff and talk about it. But our interest, I usually tell them, now, now let me tell you. I said, if you ever see one of these boogers, but you're on now, you know who are you going to be? You're going to be me trying to prove to somebody else at what you saw.
Starting point is 00:16:27 I said, so you don't take, don't take it too hard, but it can happen. And, you know, so be easy on folks on believers and knowers, if you're a researcher, because you may see that same thing yourself. No, I agree. You know, there's usually people will say there's two sides of. of the community. And I think either side needs to, both sides need to, so maybe learn a little bit more compassion. So you got into things really quick.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I mean, that citing of the polar bear, in quotation marks, on your property really kick things off. Did you ever have any citing yourself similar on your property? as well? I did. And it happened. Actually, I had a lot of stuff happen for some reason in that I don't know if I was just looking hard or not, but the year 2018.

It's said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens. happens for a Reese's. Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heighten taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recesses.
Starting point is 00:19:27 It was just a big year. It seemed like everything I happened to capture and stuff back then. And I just never, you know, I was never wanting to take anything I found and throw it out to the public and put it on every channel and whatever. I've always kind of kept stuff to myself, you know, up until the last couple of years. But in 2018, I actually believe it was May of 2018. I remember one, it was about 9.30 in the morning, a real nice morning. And I had a cup of coffee. So I was sitting in my kitchen looking out in the backyard. And I saw a beautiful red fox was kind of like in a little field just back there, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:15 on a little further past my, past my backyard or just in the clearing area. Anyway, like I said, I just had woke up and I had a cup of coffee, and I thought, look at that pretty fox. So I grabbed my camera, you know, I thought I was going to put a little national geographic, and I thought I'd just walk out there and see if I can get him on film. So I was easing out my back door, and normally, you know, I'm a firm, believe you don't need to sneak into the woods, especially if you're researching these buggers,
Starting point is 00:20:50 because they know you're there, you know, so you ain't going to sneak up on them too often. But it does happen. You know, they make mistakes once in a while. And, you know, they kind of turn and look at you and be as surprised as you are seeing them. So it does happen. But usually I just kind of do my thing,
Starting point is 00:21:09 and I want to know I'm there if I'm out there. But this particular morning, I was following this spot, So I was going to be sneaky so I couldn't disturb it. So I was sneaking as good as this old country board could sneak, you know, to the woods trying to follow this fox. And he got to a fence that was a boundary point of my property and my neighbors. And he went through the fence and there's a little dirt road that kind of goes up beside the fence. So he took off, you know, as I'm facing the fence to the right down that road.
Starting point is 00:21:44 And I was like, well, you know, he's gone. But it was such a nice morning. So I remember putting my phone back in my pocket right there. And, you know, I stuck back in the pocket. And I remember crossed my arms and looking out towards the woods. And this little road that he went on kind of circles around a little bit. And you could see it a little bit through the woods. And this morning, the sun was shining down onto this trail.
Starting point is 00:22:10 I mean, it looks like something out of a movie, you know. You could just, just the sun was. lighting up this trail. And I thought that's pretty, but, and suddenly, I guess I'd corner my eye from the left, I seen something move, and it come out fast from my left going towards my right, and it was going right down that sunlight trail. And I watched it for, well, I tell people, if you take your eyes and you move them to the left as far as you can and move them to the right as slow as you can you know i don't know
Starting point is 00:22:51 how many sex that is but that's about how long i watched this thing and it was it was definitely bipedal and it uh and it it wasn't huge you know it looked like maybe at least you know my size around six foot uh or so uh but it's kind of odd looking it kind of looked like i had real short legs and and uh and uh and i was looking directly at its profile all i seen was a side profile and like say it was a little bit off in the distance you know wasn't that far off but it's far enough that i could see it pretty good and uh but it was solid black and and it and it was running or or like say it was gliding but it looked like it was leaning at maybe a 15 degree angle kind of like a skier with ski, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:44 but his head was tilted back, funny looking, and it looked like it had a huge, huge amount of hair or something on top of his head. I don't know what, maybe his head or, or blowing or what, but,
Starting point is 00:23:59 but it, but it was heading towards that pops. So in my mind, this thing probably wasn't paying me that much attention to start with, and with being that I was trying to be sneaky, maybe he was paying more attention to that fox, and he took off after it, is what I'm thinking happened.
Starting point is 00:24:20 But anyway, it, like I say, it was gliding through the woods, and how I say gliding, it was, it was moving so smoothly. I mean, and I used to tell folks that remind me this, if you ever watch one of these movies, it shows you kind of beside the scenes, how the movie was made, and so forth, where they'll take a camera and they'll put it on a track of some sort where they'll move smoothly across the ground or the woods or whatever. You'd have swore there was a track back there and this thing was on it. That's how smooth it was moving and was moving so fast.
Starting point is 00:24:56 But this is the weirdest part of it is it didn't really scare me. I thought it was kind of cool, you know, even though I was a little bit surprised, you know, because I did, I'm not watched long enough if I could look up and see a, I checked the clouds. I thought, maybe it's shadow, or maybe it's a shadow of a bird or an airplane. I look, you know, for all that, and there was nothing. This was all I saw. And, you know, your shadow, when you see it going through the woods,
Starting point is 00:25:30 it kind of blobs around the trees and then and stuff, you know, moving smoothly. But this one of, this thing was moving smoothly. It was definitely not a shadow, so I ruled that out. But anyway, like I said, didn't scare me, and I thought it was really cool. And I was more like, you know, trying to surprise, not surprised, but like, what did I just see? But suddenly, and I mean instantly, all the blood went to my head, it seemed like. All of a sudden I started getting like confused and dizzy.
Starting point is 00:26:06 And I was inside of my house. You know, I could see my house from where I was at. far. But I felt like I was going to pass out and I didn't have no idea why, you know, because I had been feeling fine and stuff. And I've actually never felt like that. I mean, just I felt like my head was going to explode like just all the blood went to my face or to my head. And I literally, you know, all my career, even through my music career, and if you go to my Facebook page, you can see a lot of music stuff and a lot of people I've had to have had the fortune of rolling shoulders with in the business.
Starting point is 00:26:45 But anyways, I've always documented everything. So all I could think of right there while I felt like I was going to pass out and document myself or whatever. Just in case something happened, some people can say, well, you know, here's what happened. I don't know, but, you know, here it is. And I'm being so confused. I couldn't figure my camera out. I was trying to get the app turned on and figure out which way to face it towards me. And I mean, it's like I've never used a camera before.
Starting point is 00:27:18 But I actually did film it. And I have sent it to you. A film me and maybe I was what they call zapped. You know, you hear about that where, you know, these animals or these critters can possibly do that, you know, kind of like lions and elephants and things. And I've read up a little bit on it, but not that much until this. And so I started researching a little bit, and I thought, well, maybe that's what happened to me because I have no other explanation. But there I was in the woods, like I said, it felt like I'm about to fall out and I could see
Starting point is 00:27:55 my house. And it felt like it was a thousand miles away, you know. So I started back towards a house. And on the way, I called a friend of mine. and he's he's he's a he's passed away uh since then but his he was really a pretty big not big guy he's well known the big hook community and his name was uh jim hart he went by bubble gump and he was real close friends with my buddy coon bow baker and stuff but i but i called jim and he kind of talked me through the woods as far as you know all right you know just just keep focus and you know and and and i was rambling
Starting point is 00:28:33 and, you know, I don't know what I was saying. But I got to my house, and my wife is a retired nurse, an R-N. So when I walked into the house, she thought I was having a heart attack or something. And so she sat down on the couch and it wasn't long. And I kind of felt okay, you know, she, you know, determined that, you know, I wouldn't have a heart attack or anything, but it was just probably, this anxiety attack of some sort. But now if there's any
Starting point is 00:29:11 proof to this, I guess, the only way I can actually say something happening is that afternoon, I literally had a doctor's appointment set up, just right up from my house, actually, where my doctor is. So I went to my doctor that afternoon and
Starting point is 00:29:31 you know how they They take your temperature and check your blood pressure and all this stuff to start with. Well, she took my blood pressure to start with. Then she sat there and looked for a few minutes. Then she took it again and just kind of looking weird, you know. She said, Mr. Boswell, do you feel okay? I said, well, yeah, I feel pretty good, you know, I'm all right. And she said, well, she said, your blood pressure has never been this high.
Starting point is 00:29:59 You know, I thought to myself, well, you know, I ain't never seen a bugger, before maybe they had something to do with it. But, you know, I thought I had, I thought I was feeling okay and calm. You know, I was probably still excited and stuff and still running it through my head and all. But, but anyway, it's kind of documented that, you know, something did happen to me that day and it was on my medical record. I hope she didn't put down patient sees Bigfoot, you know, that might not go over too good in my medical files. Wow. Anyway, that was the only sighting that I ever had.
Starting point is 00:30:33 with my eyes that I saw. Most of stuff that I've caught that is really compelling is by accident, like most times, photos and things that you are videos, that you don't really see anything until you get home and analyze your photos and videos. And like, oh, my God, look at that. And look at that. And that happened so much, you know, so that's why I tell people, you know, just if you feel there's enough reason to take a photo or video,
Starting point is 00:31:05 make sure you look at it when you get home because, you know, whatever you felt that made you inclined to take that photo, then it may be something there to see. And I have quite a few things that people can see and look up on my, on my sites, on social media stuff that, like I say, I don't post and push out to everybody.
Starting point is 00:31:26 It has a Bigfoot platform. or some just kind of stuff I keep to myself and joy showing to other researchers and things. So, but yeah, that was a. That sighting is, I mean, that, that's really, that's a really unique one. In the fact, so from what I heard, you were able to look up at the clouds to see if there was a shadow and then you were able to look back and it was still there. right right yeah yeah i mean i i i quickly looked up for planes and shadows i mean i mean maybe not right at that instance as it meant by but you know if it was a plane or bird or something you could still see it even though my sight was three or four sex or whatever so i'm like you know what
Starting point is 00:32:13 was that and i'm looking up like okay was that a plane was it a shadow and i'm looking and didn't see nothing as far as birds or anything so uh and it was just about that time after looking up Looking around is when all of a sudden I just got, you know, confused and dizzy and stuff. So it was really strange and nothing like that's happened to me since. Thank goodness. I say it's unique because, I mean, 99% of the time you hear from witnesses as they look away for a second and then it's gone. Like they look back, there's nothing. So that is extremely unique to hear that.
Starting point is 00:32:53 So after you had that sighting, then, you know, how are you viewing like, oh, man, I've got something that's like a monkey in my back, backwoods, or is it something that looks more like a human? Actually, I have some video that is, and like I said, you can look it up, and I'd be glad to show it to you and stuff. but in my opinion it may be the the closest face shot of a juvenile Bigfoot ever recorded on video in motion. And remember I told you sometimes these things are there and you ain't going to sneak up on them and sometimes you surprise them. Well, this particular incident, it was also in 2018. one it was one night
Starting point is 00:33:52 about about 12 1 o'clock in the morning I guess it was and again I was I was sitting there the kitchen window looking out towards the backwoods
Starting point is 00:34:00 and I heard the office screaming and hollering in the woods I mean I don't know what it was just bellowing and screaming
Starting point is 00:34:10 and people who have actually heard the video said they they maybe thought it was a deer in distress or something like I'm not
Starting point is 00:34:19 that familiar with animal sound like that. But anyway, I heard this screaming, and I was sitting, so I immediately grabbed my camera. You always kept my camera here, and I had old Sony handy cam, which was pretty good video cameras back then, you know. And even though I had a few years on it, but it's a nice video camera,
Starting point is 00:34:37 and I've used it a lot of time. So I had it right there and my flashlight handy. Now, here's one thing that, because I've been, you know, I've been researching my woods, for a few years, you know, and go out and look at it for eyes shine, take a, you know, flashlight and walk around, sit, and you know what you do. Well, for some reason, I told myself, you know, the next time I think I may hear or see something. Plan B made over-the-counter

Starting point is 00:36:41 New series now streaming with a CNN subscription. They say everything happens for a real. But I suspect everything happens for a recesses. Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away from music? Or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. I'm not going to just go straight out with my flashlight.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Because I got to think, you know, if I'm hiding out there in the woods and I'm over here and you shine your flashlight this way, I'm going that way. So it makes sense, I'm thought, I'm going to just see what happened. So here's what happened. I walked again out my back door. I had my camera running or on record as I walked out the back door. But my flashlight was off. So I kind of ease up to the edge of what I call my booger hut.
Starting point is 00:37:34 I got kind of like a gazebo type thing and sitting up towards the edge of the woods that I'll get up on, you know, get up off the ground with my cameras and things and stuff. I call it my booger hut. Anyway, I got close to it. And then, like I said, I had my camera running. Suddenly I hit my flashlight and I panned the whole open area behind my house, you know, from right to left and back. I just panned across it real fast. Well, not too fast, but, you know, past not to see if I could see any kind of eye shine or movement or anything.
Starting point is 00:38:09 And, of course, I was looking with my naked eyes more than I was looking in my camera. You know, so I was trying to keep it all together, my flashlight and my naked eyes and my camera in the right direction, you know, as I panned across. And I could still hear that screaming in the background, but I literally did not see anything. I didn't hear anything making any noise besides what little leaves or whatever I stepped on. And you can hear this in the video. been seeing anything. Now, this is why it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:38:45 It's why I beg folks to look at your stuff, you know, when you tell you, because I didn't. And like I said, I took this in 2018, and I remember a day or two late, I never looked at my,
Starting point is 00:39:00 I never looked at the camera or nothing because I didn't see anything in my naked eyes, so I figured they wouldn't have nothing out there. But like normal, a day or two later, I come and uploaded my latest files onto my desk, top PC, my desktop computer and that's, I've had for years. And it's where I upload all my, all my digital stuff, whether it's music or
Starting point is 00:39:21 buggers or whatever. And, but, you know, I uploaded this, this video. And it was exactly 57 seconds long. It's the full length of the video as far as one shot from when I pan from left to right. And I never looked at it again. this was 2018. And it wasn't until 2021, three years later, that I was looking at my computer. I decided to clean up some files and throw away some stuff that, you know, just taking up space I didn't need anymore.
Starting point is 00:39:59 And I had my speakers on, which is a normal thing I normally don't do when I'm looking through my computer. I normally don't need speakers, you know, why I do? But sometimes, it's cool what I'm looking at it. But anyway. I had my speakers on and I come up on this file where the thumbnail was black, you know, and I so I wonder what is this? I clicked on it.
Starting point is 00:40:19 And it was black because it was dark when I started filming. But anyway, I heard that screen and I said, oh, I remember that. So I pulled it up, you know, to my big screen on my computer and was watching it.
Starting point is 00:40:34 And it literally, I mean literally tears come to my eyes when I saw what I had caught on. on camera. In the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen, you see what looks,
Starting point is 00:40:49 and to me, what looks like a little, at first I thought it was a ghost of a monkey, or something, a monkey ghost, because it had the little face of a monkey from a big old ear to a little bald head
Starting point is 00:40:59 and big eyes and little, I mean, not a monkey nose, a human-type nose and the kind of big nose, but it's very, I mean, you can see it,
Starting point is 00:41:10 to me, just plain as they, you know. But I saw this and I'm like, oh, my God. So I started analyzing it. And being a graphics designer, I can, I've always been to get around on computer a little bit as far as analyzing things and mess them with, you know, contrast and brightness and in the different levels of things where you can pull out some detail and, you know, also with audio and stuff like that. So I started looking at it. And this thing was so fast. It was only seven frames. You know, there's like, like, average 29 frames per second when you're taping.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Seven frames was only what this thing was in. And that shows you how fast it was moving. So, of course, I had to slow it down, and I looked at it frame by frame by frame. and it is definitely a creature in there, and I'm pretty sure it was a juvenile. It wasn't much bigger than I am. It may be smaller. And this thing was literally,
Starting point is 00:42:19 and I know it sounds crazy. And like I said, I don't talk about nothing that I can't show you some kind of documentation to prove what I'm seeing or what I saw. You know, they may not prove what was there or whatever they can prove what I'm looking at. But you can see this thing.
Starting point is 00:42:33 It was probably at least, maybe no more than six or eight feet from me. And the way it comes in the camera, you can see it was surprised. You can see it was kind of coming in front of me. All of a sudden it turns and looks straight at me in the camera. And it's eyebrows and eyes open a while like, oh my God, what was that?
Starting point is 00:42:54 And it turns and almost look like it wobbles on off into the night. But the crazy thing is, it was like I say it looked like a ghost. It was kind of, it was real white looking, but a real, you couldn't see through it, but it looked like you could almost see through it. But it was sharpened up like I say, well, you can see all the detail in its, in his face, you know, right down to his mouth. And I called it from like the chin up, you know, it's chin.
Starting point is 00:43:28 I didn't catch his chin, but from the lips to the top of its head is what I've got on camera. But it wobbles off and it looks like a white fog. It looks foggy. And upon analyzing the film, when I'm walking up there, you can see this fog kind of bouncing to the woods. And if you just glance at it, you're thinking maybe just a nighttime mist or something, you know. But once you look at it, you say,
Starting point is 00:43:56 that ain't no mist. It looked like a freaking ghost fog because it's moving deliberately, you know, and it's actions. But it comes around to my camera, and like size, I see this in the year 20, 21, and I spent, well,
Starting point is 00:44:13 since then, analyzing this 57-second film. And you wouldn't, well, I keep saying this, because it's so unbelievable. But in, but in that film,
Starting point is 00:44:26 there's at least four other creatures. Two of them, way to the right, towards the film, or you see basically eyeshine, but it looked like two creatures are sneaking in the woods or heading out
Starting point is 00:44:40 towards the woods and kind of ducking and hiding but they're looking back towards me but they were heading towards this noise that was out in the woods just screaming and bellowing. There's in that direction. On the left side of the film right towards the end and I don't talk about this a whole lot
Starting point is 00:44:56 because it's as hard as I've tried to pull out the detail, I pull it out enough where you could probably see what I'm seeing, basically. But I'm pretty sure it was a freaking dog man was there because this thing, and like side, it, it, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my flashlight, if I don't want just one inch over when I pan over to my left, I, I would probably caught some good stuff. But I pan so past that I barely caught it on its, on its face.
Starting point is 00:45:31 and you can see where the light hits its face and it looks towards me. Again, it looks surprised. And there's, you can see it's arm. Where it's arm swings around in front of a tree. That is a very definite tree that's in my audience. I mean, you can distinguish it out from all the other trees. It comes around in front of it and you can count five fingernails or lit up by that flashlight. I mean, it looked like a big old human monkey hand with five shiny, shiny fingernails coming around in front that tree.
Starting point is 00:46:09 And where it came across from that tree, I was able to go out there and actually measure, you know, because you could see the limb where the tree's split. It's exactly where it come across it, where if I had been standing there, that's where I would have come across with my arm. but this thing the arm me standing exactly where it was where its arm come across would have hit me in the head and it would look like it was like waist level this critter where it was swinging around
Starting point is 00:46:39 to head towards the woods and what it looked like when my place like hit it it looked like it was like oh heck and it was getting out of it and again it was going towards that noise that I was hearing and like I'll send you all this stuff or you can come up on my page and I'll let you look at it
Starting point is 00:46:54 and check it out and see what you think you know but I think that maybe what it was, it was possibly the dogman, and a few years later we called on, and it's another story, a friend of mine, he called on Penn that, a creature that kind of looked like what I saw gliding to the woods, which could have been like this dog man critter,
Starting point is 00:47:15 whatever, I don't know. And I called it a dog man, because his side profile looks like a, from what I can't, I can put out of it, I almost looked like a cartoon, coyote. I mean, it almost looks comical looking, but it's wolfish looking, you know, nose and stuff.
Starting point is 00:47:34 And, you know, it's not a hard detail. That's why I don't talk about it a whole lot because I can't show that much besides the bangers and the arms coming across. That is very clear. You can see it playing. You know it's not fireflies follow on each other through the woods, you know. But that's one of the things. and the other. Now, if you've got any question,
Starting point is 00:47:59 don't, you'll be... Yeah. You just jump on in. Right. That's fascinating. Is that, are those videos you have on your YouTube channel as well?
Starting point is 00:48:10 Yeah, absolutely. I post everything. I've taken, yeah, it's on there as well. And, you know, I've actually been begging people for years since I took this film to take this 57-second film,
Starting point is 00:48:25 and analyze it like I did take it and look at it break it down frame by frame I bet if you're and I would love for a forensic scientist to get a hold of somebody and just look at it and you know like you took it and see what I say and I beg people do it you know it's not something like I keep secret
Starting point is 00:48:45 all and I you know it's there if you look at it you'll see it absolutely but anyways it ain't now now it gets crazier now as I analyzing this film, like I said, I've been analyzing it for years, and this wasn't too long ago when I was playing with it again, and I was looking at the little juvenile part of the film where you come up and look at me. Well, I was analyzing, and like I say, it was real dark outside. That's time. So while I was looking at this clip, I decided just to boost the brightness 100%, you know, hoping it would maybe,
Starting point is 00:49:25 lighten up some of the darkness of the night. And what I saw, and what you can see when I send it to you, I swear, looks like a freaking gorilla is between me and trees. This thing is probably within arms distance of me, or maybe not much further. And these trees are probably like five or six, eight feet in front of me. And this thing rises, it looks like it right. rises up and floats, I swear, this gliding thing, it looks like it floats off to the left,
Starting point is 00:50:03 but you can see its head, you see its shoulder, you see his bisoned, you see where his arm is being bent at the elbow. And it, like it rises up, like it's floating away from me on to the left. And like I said, I didn't see this until I increased the brightness. And it's there because it blocks off the trees in front of me. You can see the shadow. Plainers that blocking off the trees. So when I found this, it really freaked me out because I'm thinking,
Starting point is 00:50:40 okay, here I am literally standing within arm's distance of two mythological creatures that I have on video. of them, you know, a parent, a juvenile, and I think this girl-looking thing must have been one of the parents, you know, because they say they're kind of traveling packs and they're very protective of each other. So I'm just wondering, like I said, just wondering, if this was a mama or baby, whatever, and again, it was heading in the same direction as the rest of these creatures towards whatever was screaming in the woods.

It's said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for a recess. Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heightened taste?
Starting point is 00:53:11 Mmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recesses. But I'm just wondering if I had seen that juvenile in front of me and reached out towards it, I bet I would have been a statistic by now. Because I really believe that this big old gorilla-licking thing would have probably tore my head off. Oh, yeah. You don't come back from that. Because it was too close to this thing.
Starting point is 00:53:38 And like I said, I was seeing you every bit of this to look at just as soon as we get off the phone. Okay. You know, being it, just for you, just for you're personal, you know, and if you'd like to share it with folks, that's fine on me, you know. Oh, so I could put that in the YouTube version. You'd be okay with that? Yeah, absolutely. Okay. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Anything you'd like to add to it or post with it, you know, it's fine on me. But like I said, all this is in my backyard still. That's absolutely wild. I mean, you've got a lot, a lot going on there. I do have a few questions for you just because you are a very unique individual where you're into Bigfoot, but you also have the background that you have. One of the questions I have, and this is just I have a feeling, you mentioned that you are your friend of Coombos, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Cumbot's dear friend. So that being said, and also you have your background as a musician, have you been involved with any work that was done in the past with the Shofar horn? No, and I've talked to Cunbo a lot about it. And he's talked to me about it. As a matter of fact, I always tell this story. I said, you know, Coonbo is my main. mentor. And he's the guy that I first heard on the radio where I said, you know, I could probably
Starting point is 00:55:18 talk on the radio. Koonbo can talk on the radio. I probably could. But anyway, up until then, I never thought about doing any kind of interviews or stuff, but I first heard of Kumbo, then got involved with him. And he's my teacher. I mean, a lot of the advice I give to people as far as researching tools and what you do when you go into wood and stuff, it's stuff I've learned from him. But yeah, that instrument is crazy, and I've talked to Cunbo about it, but I've never been around one that off. I did not long ago. I had somebody had one, but I didn't talk to him about it. But that's a fascinating subject there. You know, when you get talking about that, man, it's spooky.
Starting point is 00:56:02 It's some weird stuff. Another thing I've noticed, and this is from all parts of parts of the U.S. This is from, it's been reported in Washington, Oklahoma, and North Georgia, is that some witnesses will hear what sounds like they're doing some sort of singing. Is that anything you've heard, or do you have any thoughts about that at all? I've never heard anything like that. I've heard some howls and crazy stuff out in the wood, but I've never heard anything that sound like singing.
Starting point is 00:56:44 Although, you know, I've always heard that buggers are like most animals, actually, you know, like music. You know, so I don't never miss a chance if I'm out in the woods to pull out my guitar and sit there and sing a few songs and maybe sat on a log. And if there's somebody with me, I tell them, I say, Now, look like you're looking at me, but watch over my shoulder behind me, just in case you never know what a bugger might come up and say, who's that out there making all that record, you know?
Starting point is 00:57:14 But I do believe music is entwined with big puts, and I'm sure they enjoy it, probably like we do. You know, it's got to get off a boring out there in the woods, you know, just the squirrels and whatever else all day long, so probably little music probably sounds good, in a way. And yeah, that was another thing I was going to bring up to because it is something that you hear in reports that someone was, and usually it's a guitar, someone was playing a guitar and there's a response. And I've actually experienced that firsthand in Oregon where an individual
Starting point is 00:57:53 was playing a guitar out in the forest and then we got roared and screamed at and it happened two times in a row. And then we left. It was crazy. But, Is that anything where you've played guitar and had any weird things in response or it kicked off things in your backyard? No, not that I can tell. You know, I don't know if it's a – well, I haven't been researching a whole lot here lately as far as spending time back there in the woods with my thermal cameras and everything I take and sit back there and just, you know, which I enjoy just watching whatever. coming through the woods where there's deer or possums or wild boar wrecking. I just love wildlife anyway.
Starting point is 00:58:41 So watching and see why I can catch on cameras fun. But it's a, I'm not, you know, like I say, a lot of stuff happened in 2018. It was in 2020, three, I think it was. A friend of mine, which is a dear friend and a great researcher, a name. Terry Allen, he, uh, he come to my house and done a little research and then we called something
Starting point is 00:59:09 on camera or he did there, uh, that one night while he was here. That was real interesting. And I call it some of the best evidence that shows their boogers back here. But, uh, that's something also I can, I can, I can show you that I, I show my presentations. But, uh, you know, it, if you, uh, if you were, and I've done this and I can show, Again, I can show it to you, but one day I was wondering, why is my area? Why would it be so active here? So I went to Google and took a Google map or Google satellite shot of my house in the area. And looking down at my house, you know, of course you don't see it from the ground level,
Starting point is 00:59:51 but looking to my house, I'm like, oh, that makes sense. But if you look at my house, the woods surrounding my house in front and back, of course, there's a road in front of my house, just an old rural road. but it almost works like an hourglass. You know how an hourglass is shaped? And right in the thinnest part of that hourglass is where my house is. So the woods that's shaped like an hourglass, and there's big old lakes back there and creeks and swamps and everything,
Starting point is 01:00:22 you know, that makes it buggish. So I'm thinking, if you're going to cross the road in front of my house and want to stay in the woods, you basically have to come through my yard or go through a big field or through a neighborhood or something that's on down the road piece. But the biggest part of the wood, you have to almost come through my yard
Starting point is 01:00:45 to cross the road to continue through the woods. And like I said, kind of shaped like an hourglass. And that's why I think maybe I get so much activity because these boogers, you know, maybe just passing through. and this is the way they go to get to, you know, other lakes and to the Chattahoochee River or wherever it is they're heading to, you know, in this neighborhood. But that's the only reason I can think of why it's been so active.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Do you have a goal with, you know, you're trying to pretty much keep an eye on what's going on in your backyard? Do you have something you wish you would happen with having the boogers in your backyard? Or is it just something where you're watching them kind of like a Jane Goodall would almost? Well, it's kind of like that. Something I've never done is do howls back there. You never know what's why I may do a tree knock on something. I don't do that too often either. You know, I just figure, well, you know, if they use this area and they give me the chance to see them or have a little pun and
Starting point is 01:01:57 and enjoy boogering in my backyard, especially, but I don't have to go nowhere. You know, I'm not going to bother them. So, yeah, I basically, I guess I just try to just go back there and observe. I don't try to draw them in. Every once in a while, I take some apples or bananas or something, you know, if we got them laying in our house, and I'll just take them back there, just see what happens.
Starting point is 01:02:20 You know, I don't follow up on it a lot. But, yeah, that's basically. I just don't bother them too much. And, you know, I know they're there. you know, I've got a, I found a huge footprint one time. It's the only footprint I've ever found. You know, it's hard to get footprints and stuff. You know, in Alabama and Georgia,
Starting point is 01:02:40 and when you get out in those woods, there's so much stuff on the ground. But I actually found a pretty nice footprint that was in my front yard, right just real close to where my daughter's polar bear were standing. Of course, it was some years later. It went during that time. It was some years later. But I've actually had some good photos. I tried to cast it, but I screwed it up.
Starting point is 01:03:03 I've never done one nose before, but I got lots of good photos of it. Actually, a big footprint, but this critter looks like it came from across the street from my house, from the woods, and stepped away up on a bank, six, eight feet bank. And it looked like it accidentally stepped in a firebed, an old ant bed. because that's where the print was at right dead centered as ant bed and that's why i'll send that to you too but that's the only print i've ever found around here and i'm pretty sure it was by accident stepped in that ant bed and kept going through the tree line but it's it was way too big to be a human footprint that i've ever seen dale you mentioned already that you have taken at least
Starting point is 01:03:50 one trip out to Brenda Harris's gathering, but do you ever partner and go to other researcher gatherings and try to get into the field to see if you can see evidence in other places, or
Starting point is 01:04:06 is it a thing where you're just pretty much focused on your backyard area? Oh, no, no. I love hanging out with other researchers and not long ago we had an awesome a meet and greet at Hollis National Park. That's located around Silica, Alabama.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Okay. And it's with the Bigfoot group that I'm in. I don't know if you, but it's one of my favorites. It's the Woodwalkers filled with the Z. Oh, they're great. Yeah, I love those guys. Yeah. Yeah, that's my main hangout right there.
Starting point is 01:04:44 But anyway, when we had that big meeting greet just a few months ago, man, we had a ball. there's like a like a hundred and thirty people showed up out there. I mean, and this was, and I was honored to be the featured speaker and entertainer, you know, I didn't do a whole lot.
Starting point is 01:05:02 I enjoyed it, but I enjoyed, you know, doing a little bit and picking and singing, but meeting them with everybody, you know, and so many people from the group, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:10 and Misty and Spencer and Coombo was there, and Terry Allen and Billy Schillen. I mean, it's just everybody, Phyllish and John. I could just mention, so many good friends. But yeah, I do enjoy it in England and hanging out with others and,
Starting point is 01:05:24 you know, squatching a little bit with whoever. And I've been fortunate to meet a lot of the, a lot, a lot of, well, I don't know, I use the word big timers,
Starting point is 01:05:37 but more of the well-known researchers and things. Like, you know, M.K. Davis and Stacey Brown, a bunch of folks. And, and I've been fortunate to do, to do some speaking engagement,
Starting point is 01:05:49 here recently. I did a couple earlier this year and just stand in the room only. It wouldn't cause a meeting, you know, because we just had a good conference with some great lineup and stuff. But I got the honor of hosting and being the MC for a couple of conferences. And I got a few things on the board that I'm going to do this year. Just, you know, I figured this could be one of my last big years as I'm getting older as far as you. So I'm going to just go for it, you know, because I just,
Starting point is 01:06:19 just retired this year. It just turns 67, so I'm officially retired, even though I've been medically retired since 2014 because of the neck problems and stuff I have. But I'm officially retired now, so I'm getting out and doing more. But I got some thing kind of like I'll be speaking in Pine Mountain, Georgia, on the fourth, at a public library, and then I'll be in Anniston, Alabama. next month in June to 6 and 7th, I think it is, at the Alabama Bigfoot Conference. Then I'll be in, hopefully, at Beachwood with Todd Nees in July.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Oh, cool. Wow, you're headed out there. Oregon. Nice, nice stuff. I'm trying my best. It was an honor to be invited, and this is the last year they're having it. You know, so to be invited today's an honor to start with, you know. So that's pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:07:19 So I'm going to try to my best make that. And then I got something in Missouri with Tex Wesson and everyone in September. Oh, the Kansas City Conference, yeah. I think it's Kansas City area. Yeah, that's awesome. Almost like I'm in the music business again because I hadn't toured and traveled in a long, long time. But I used to stay on the road. Absolutely. Well, it sounds like there's a lot of different places that people could catch up with you, Dale, especially this year.
Starting point is 01:07:55 But, you know, I just want to say thank you for spending some time on the show and for sharing what you're experiencing down there in Alabama in your backyard. It's been a pleasure chatting with you. Oh, I have enjoyed it to the max. I really have. And like I appreciate you inviting me to come on to your show. I've been a big fan for a long time. And, you know, if anyone like to get in touch with me, like I say, you can just Google my name. And there's definitely one song that I want people to hear. And I always tell about it because I wrote it and recorded for our veterans that protect our country and our freedom are very important to me.
Starting point is 01:08:44 You know, and I never pass one that I don't hug his neck if I can. But this song I wrote and recorded back in 2007, I believe it was. And this song called My Soldier Prayer, M.Y. My Soldier Prayer. And like I said, it's one of the first things come up when you Google my name. But it's a tribute to our fallen soldiers and fallen heroes. And it gets a lot of attention every year, especially around Veterans Day and Memorial Day like that. and it gets played at veterans, parades and funerals and things like that. And it was actually, if you remember the super country legendary country singer George Jones,
Starting point is 01:09:30 well, it was actually one of his favorite songs. George said it was the greatest military tribute he had ever heard, which is a big honor, you know, from somebody like George Jones, you know. But anyway, I would like people listen to. that and and and and and and honor honor honor our veterans you know and if you got a friend a family member that's that's lost someone uh you know for fighting for our country you know let them hear to let them know we appreciate them but uh anyway that's that's that's my little music plug but i always think's very important to to support our veterans and our troops absolutely and we'll have a link
